    Adult female (hen) ducks and chicks

    We’ve had ducks for sever years now. We now have only three hens that we rescued. They are strange-I guess because they had a stressful young life! They just drop their eggs in the pond! Anyway, we just acquired 5 baby chicks, almost 4 weeks old. About to put them out in their coop (we live in...

    Can anyone identify these ducks?

    Thank you so much for your reply. I had no idea about the skull deformity of crested ducks! Thankfully all six of mine are hens.

    Can anyone identify these ducks?

    Where to buy adult duck?

    Okay. . . I bought a Swede female, I think 😂. My female, the runner, is about 1 yr old and so is the Swede. The Swede was definitely quacking whe it first got in the pond with the runner. But today, 3 days later, I look out and see the Swede mounting the Runner. All the behavior of mating. Do...

    Where to buy adult duck?

    I’m having the worst luck with raising ducks🥴. I was down to two runner, a drake and a female. She laid twelve eggs and sat on them for weeks, being such a great brooder, but NONE hatched.

    Anybody have any ideas of how to get him. To go in a coop alone, without her?

    Can papa duck stay with ducklings?

    The problem is he will only go in if she takes him in. When I try to get him to come in off the pond he just sits in the middle! Such a guy!

    Can papa duck stay with ducklings?

    The broody duck stopped laying after she laid the twelfth egg which was three weeks (or so) ago. Thank you so much for your reply. I may just leave him on the pond all night.

    Can papa duck stay with ducklings?

    Good evening, friends! I need y’all’s insight. My female runner (my granddaughter named her Duck Prescott before we knew she is a female) has laid 12 eggs and has been sitting on the nest, only leaves to swim around in pond for about 30 minutes a couple of times a day. We lock up the male (other...

    What are these ducks?

    The ducklings have been in an outdoor enclosure that reaches 6 ft into the pond so they have been swimming since they were 4 weeks old. The two adults are free range so they can see them . There’s only hog wire between the ducklings and adults.

    What are these ducks?

    Could you please give me your opinion about when we can put our ducklings with the two adult Pekins, one drake one female? The four ducklings are 8 weeks old. I’m pretty sure 2 are females (one Pekin and one Pekin/Runner mix). The two Runners haven’t made a definite quack so I think they are...
